“Are you willing to buy a broken seal while purchasing a bottle of cold drink or a packet of biscuits? It is the same case with your wife. A girl is biologically sealed from birth until it is opened. A virgin girl means many things accompanied [sic] as values, culture, sexual hygiene. To most boys, virgin wife is like angel [sic],” Sarkar said in the Facebook post, as quoted by India Today.
